Microsoft's Xbox X018 Event is set to get underway in under 30 minutes live from Mexico.

The usual array of Inside Xbox hosts are set to grace us with their company alongside some new game reveals that Phil Spencer had previously said would cover both first and third-party announcements at the show.

But despite knowing the event was in the works, there's been little known about the event, bar a couple of smaller leaks in the run up to today's event.

However, tweeting shortly before the show is set to begin, Major Nelson, Director of Programming Microsoft's Xbox Live network told fans:

"Speaking of warnings, I’ll be live tweeting during the show, so you might want to set your notifications accordingly. Maybe not to the level of E3, but close. It’s a big show with lots of announcements"

It certainly sounds as though Microsoft has been keeping a lid on this event, and whilst we fully appreciate this isn't going to be on the same scale as E3, it seems to be much bigger than most people had been anticipating.
